The game offers players the chance to assume the role of John, battling for survival against the far superior forces of Skynet. Played in a third-person action game, Terminator Salvation features concentrated armed combat against all of the Skynet enemies from the film as well as new enemies specifically designed for the game.<\/p>\n<p>Score: Graphics: 9, Sound: 9, Gameplay: 7, Multiplayer: 5, Overall: 7.5 of 10<\/p>\n<p>Review: Based on the worst Terminator movie made to date,  I was definitely a bit apprehensive about the video game. Would it be another senseless movie based third-party shooter? Would it build up with fancy artwork and gameplay videos, only to dissapoint and frustrate?  Thank goodness McG isn&#8217;t a video game director.  Terminator Salvation actually turned out to be pretty entertaining!  <\/p>\n<p>From a visual standpoint, Terminator Salvation definitely delivers.  The only complaint I have is the replay load time and frequency of animation sequences in between levels.  Gameplay is decent, but pretty ordinary for a third-party shooter. In minutes your taking down Skynet drones, manning large artillery and kicking serious robot butt.<\/p>\n<p>Director Ulf Andersson who also brought us other video game adaptations such as &#8220;Wanted: Weapons of Fate&#8221;, truly captures the atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic Terminator world.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to Shockya.com for the latest video game reviews and news.<\/p>\n<p>By Brian Corder<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14338\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14338\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/terminator_salvation_vg_1.jpg\" alt=\"Terminator Salvation Gameplay 1\" title=\"Terminator Salvation Gameplay 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/terminator_salvation_vg_1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/terminator_salvation_vg_1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Terminator Salvation Gameplay 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terminator Salvation (2009) System: Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC Game Description: Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins focuses on the exploits of now 30-year-old John Connor in a world on the road to the extinction of humanity.
